Moving house, lost keys, new tenants — we re-key or replace your locks across Greater Brisbane. Fast, affordable, done right.
When You Need It
You don't always need a brand new lock — but you always need to know who has a key.
Previous owners, old tenants, real estate agents — you don't know how many copies of your key exist. Re-keying on move-in day is the single best security upgrade you can make.
If your keys are lost or stolen, the lock needs to change — not just the key. We re-key the cylinder so your old keys no longer work, without replacing the whole lock hardware.
Property managers and landlords — between tenancies is the right time to re-key. Quick, affordable, and gives your new tenants confidence in their security from day one.
Old, worn, or low-grade cylinders? We supply and fit quality deadbolts from Lockwood and Yale — brands trusted in Brisbane homes for decades.
Re-Key vs Lock Change
Most people don't need a full lock replacement — re-keying is faster and cheaper. Here's the difference.
We change the internal pin configuration of your existing lock cylinder so it works with a new key. Your lock hardware stays in place — just the key changes.
Best for: Moving house, lost keys, new tenants. Lock is in good condition.
Typical cost: From $120–$150 per lock
We remove your old lock and fit a brand new one — cylinder, hardware and all. We supply quality brands including Lockwood and Yale, plus keys cut on the spot.
Best for: Old or damaged locks, security upgrade, keyed-alike setups.
Typical cost: From $200–$350 supplied & fitted
